# Maitland v. University of Minnesota *Federal employment-discrimination case against the University of Minnesota, settled June 12, 2003* *Maitland v. University of Minnesota* is a federal civil case brought against the [[University of Minnesota]] under Title VII and on equal protection grounds.[^1] The Minnesota record lists the case as filed in 1993 and assigns it to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. That court's decisions in the matter are reported at 155 F.3d 1013[^1] and 43 F.3d 357,[^2] and the record also lists 260 F.3d 959. According to the Center for Individual Rights, the case settled on June 12, 2003.[^3] A research dossier in the record says *Maitland* came after the 1980 class consent decree in *Rajender v. University of Minnesota*, No. 4-73-435 (D. Minn.).[^4] The case record gives 1993 as the filing year, while the dossier dates the *Maitland* litigation to 1994–2003.[^1][^4] The record names *Maitland* as a historical predicate. It does not establish a connection between the two cases beyond their order in time and their common defendant.[^4] ## Parties and claims The defendant is the University of Minnesota. The claims arose under Title VII and the equal protection guarantee.[^1] The record does not include the complaint or the specific allegations, and this article does not state them.[^1] ## Procedural history - **1993:** The case was filed, according to the case record.[^1] - **Reported decisions:** The Eighth Circuit's decisions appear at 43 F.3d 357[^2] and 155 F.3d 1013.[^1] The case record lists a third decision at 260 F.3d 959.
